Conference Updates

Positive Planning

We are excited about the number of persons registered for the conference. The Conference Committee has been planning for months and wants you to have a pleasant and rewarding conference experience. As you plan which sessions you would like to attend please select two or three alternate sessions in case your first choice is full. We are not able to allow participants to save seats for others so plan to arrive early to sessions likely to fill. In the interest of safety we must limit the number of attendees in each session to the number of seats assigned to the room. Thank you for understanding.
